45-year-old Rhoda Omorogie aka Mama Bobo has been nabbed for allegedly trading young girls from Benin to Europe.
Omorogie was nabbed by the operatives of National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons at about 5 a.m at her Benin residence.
The NAPTIP Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr Josiah Emerole, said in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja that the operatives of the agency in Benin Zonal Command arrested the suspect in an early morning operation on Tuesday.
Emerole explained that Omorogie, a nurse by profession and an indigene of Oredo Local Government Area of Edo, was nabbed at the wee hours of Tuesday at her residence located at No. 65 Osayande St. off Upper Sakponda Road, Benin City.
He said that the suspected trafficker had been in hiding since June 16 following the arrest of one of her gang members, Monday Ugbo while they also rescued three of their victims.
According to him, the “notorious trafficker’’ is presently in NAPTIP’s custody for interrogation.
The spokesperson stated that preliminary reports showed that Omorogie has over the years been involved in the recruitment of young women from Benin to other places including Europe.
He said the report also revealed that she was connected to the recruitment of the three victims that were rescued in Benin at the weekend.
Nigerian Bulletin recall that two weeks ago, Lagos state police command nabbed Nigeria's most notorious kidnapper, Chukwudi Dumeme Onuomadike, also known as 'Evans'.
